<p>So, I was on the pre-law track, but I realized that was a huge gamble and lots of $$</p>
<p>heres my story, </p>
<p>-Graduated with honors-3.6 (major was Poli Sci )
- was elected into and active in STudent Government- was Finance Chair (hopefully this helps....)
-volunteer work
Took the GRE- the school I applied to accepts that</p>
<p>now heres the part that I wanna know about
-I dont have any real experience....except working for my moms family business (has been in business for about 25 years)</p>
<p>Do you think this will help...I mean, my mom supports my family on this business and has since I was a little girl...I have been helping her with the business since I graduated. about 2 years..</p>
<p>When applying to business School- do you think they will only accept "consultants, engineers, analysts"....all those businessy people?? The ones who have those high positions, working for top corporations...???</p>
<p>I think if you’re doing it full time it can definitely count as work experience. I mean is it your fault that your family owns a business ha ha. </p>
<p>B School is actually usually a wide mix of people. You just have to be able to explain how the degree will benefit your career. I don’t see why you wouldn’t be a good candidate for B school.</p>
<p>Thanks Sciencenerd, really appreciate it…if anyone else wants to add any experiences or people u may have known in my predicament please share!! dont be shy!!</p>
<p>roxyjo–if you haven’t worked full-time for at least a couple of years, your chances of getting into B-school are slim. The majority of B-schools (at least the top schools) want you to work before starting B-school. They want folks who’ve been out in the business world. Look at the average age of students in the first-year class for various B-schools–you’ll see that most of the students are in their late 20s. It’s rare for someone just out of undergraduate school to get accepted to B-school.</p>
